The discourse of the history of modern architecture based on Hegel's historicism formulates a stylistic narrative of the past of architecture. This narrative was revised and reconsidered in the period of post-modernism by the discourse of reconstruction architecture that was raised with the works and ideas of American architects in the eighties. The main goal of this research is to understand the discourse of history in contemporary architecture. The question of the research is what is the view of the ideas of deconstruction on the discourse of architectural history? And what is the way of dealing with history in the works of deconstruction architecture?
The research method of this article is qualitative content analysis, which usesLaclau and Mouffe’s discourse analysis method. Based on this method of discourse analysis, in the works of deconstruction architecture by Peter Eisenman and Daniel Libeskind, the semantic system of the Hegelian architectural history discourse of the modern era is deconstructed or deconstructed based on finding components such as as Central signifiers Floating signifiers n and the concept of articulation as a text. Then, based on the results, the discourse of history in constructionist architecture has been explained and its characteristics compared to the discourse of history in the modern period and its narration have been examined.
The investigations showed that the main framework of the history of deconstructive architecture was formed based on a discourse of history in the period of postmodernism with the title of critical history. This discourse reproduces the history of architecture based on a non-linear, discrete and non-causal, anti-structural, and centrism narrative, and finally, it was categorized into four levels of critical encounter with the concept of history: general history, history of the site of the work (Palimpsest), macro-narrative of the history of architecture and Historical signs.
